"Colonization" in the Cronaca Sovversiva
From The Transmetropolitan Review
In the interests of fostering physical media, the text of ‘Colonization’ is print only.
A decade before Vladimir Lenin wrote his Imperialism and years before Rosa Luxemburg wrote her Accumulation of Capital, an Italian anarchist named Antonio Calavazzi wrote a short article titled ‘Colonization,’ first published in the Cronaca Sovversiva anarchist newspaper in 1906. Taking up less than a single page, this article was actually just one of many Italian anarchist texts dealing with colonialism, and unlike their English-speaking counterparts, the Italians had been critiquing colonization for a decade, starting with the First Italo-Ethiopian War of 1895.
